SKELETONWITCH RULES ! ! !.. ..playing the guitbox, sleeping, bike adventures that take all day and leave me sore, swamps, mountains, ROCKET FUEL, building ice skating rinks in my backyard, staying drama-free, transforming rust-buckets into fine two-wheeled rolling machines, air guitar, pickslides, sweet beats on the unholy skins, finding other people in my community to do the nuts and bolts work to make things a little better, and figuring out how this staying put in the same town thing works.
witchdoctors, more cats, rats, and pups, a mermaid, an old retired sea-captain with a wooden leg, someone who can show me how to make papermache land/cityscapes, Sylvester Stallone's mom (she's an asscrack-reader...it's true; I saw it on tv), and someone who'll trade me a dobro for a good story... ..
